International audience. ABSTRACT We determined the crystal structure of an inactive Ser70Gly mutant of CTX-M-9 in complex with the bulky penicillin piperacillin at precovalent and posthydrolytic stages in the catalytic process. The structures obtained at high resolution were compared with the corresponding structures for the small penicillin benzylpenicillin and the bulky cephalosporin cefotaxime. The findings highlight the key role of the configuration of the carbon adjacent to the acylamino group of the side chain of β-lactams in the precovalent recognition of substrates.
